Shechita (Hebrew Sachat "slaughter") is the ritual slaughter of kosher animals, especially in Judaism and Islam.
The animals are killed with a special knife with a single large incision across the throat, severing the large blood vessels and the trachea and esophagus. With this the freely bleeding-out of the animal can be guaranteed.
The consumption of blood, both in Judaism and in Islam is forbidden.
The Jewish Shechita must be without prior stunning of the animal in order for the meat to be kosher for Jewish consumption.
